Thank you for doing this video along with the try-on and explanation. Interesting how the less expensive one fit so much better and allowed you to move around. Sometimes there could be a hit or miss even with expensive clothing. Just to add, you can wear anything, both sweaters just sit so nicely on your frame, not a bump or bulge in sight. Nice Job!
Good morning Jennifer! Thank you! And this is exactly why I wanted to do the comparison, a lot of people think the luxury piece will automatically be better, whether is feel, fit, or quality and that is not always true. I don’t want to have something in my closet just to say I have a piece from that designer I also want to really love the piece. Thank you so much for watching !
I really believe years ago you got what you paid for when it came to luxury. It feels like certain luxury brands are going the fast fashion route charging more for lesser quality. Designers charging thousands for a polyester piece um no silk o.k but poly no. Now sadly it is about the money not the quality more sales mean more profit which leads in some cases to bad or faulty items.
Good morning Ann. I completely agree! I have loved J Crew for years and people have been complaining about the quality of the tippi sweaters and their classic ballet flats that USED to be all leather. Luxury brands these days have way more than 4 seasons/ collections and sometimes that can leave quality by the wayside ! Thank you so much for watching
@@gailhopkins5767 hello Gail! Thank you! And yes I always want to make sure I’m coming from a place of honesty! It is my opinion, but I’ve the real thing and the more affordable option and for me , the dupe is it lol
Hello you got a new subscriber❤really love the efforts you are putting into a vedio and help saving the hard earned money of people ..❤lots of love to uh
U naill it & show the proof why! New to u , yet i am enjoying your content. I used to be into FASHION , even to style, material, colors, feel etc. U bring back very wonderful memories. ! Thank u. Keep it up.! Grace to u & all.gh
Definitely a return! Is your pixie market sweater an XS? What’s your bra size? My concern is my chest may be too large for that neckline but I love it 🥰👍🏽 Thanks for the review.
Good morning Natural Woman! Yes ma’am I did! I wanted to love it so much but if I were to wear it I would be fixing it all day which would lead me to not wear it and it’s is too expensive to just sit in my closet. Lol now for my well endowed ladies! I have seen other ladies who have larger bust wear this top and it has stayed up. Check out highlowluxxe. She has this top and the one from Self Portrait!
Heyy dearr i really love the top from pixie market but i am from india its is costing me around twice the price of top and i cant afford that much but i really want to wear this on my birthday please help me outt with sone suggestions..its a request
I must've been a sag in another life bc I always buy multiples if I like smth. I do think the khaite color is beautiful on u, and there's smth abt the cut. I totally get that readjusting is annoying, but it just looks more special on than the pixie. Also, I feel like the almost off shoulder design was deliberate bc it amps up the sensual factor, same w the underarm flashes. One thing to note is that that area is very unforgiving if u have too much fatty breast tissue, but I think u wore it quite nicely. I wear mine w nippies so no bra worries.
Help nycovergirl thank you! I wanted to love it so much because lord j pea I was getting ready to buy the other colors but I just felt so uncomfortable! I am so glad it worked out for you though! The neckline is simply gorgeous! Thank you so much for watching! P.S. lol maybe you were a sag. I have the same skirt from Aritzia in 4 colors 🤫
Hello Chanel! And that’s all that matters! Like I said I really wanted to love it , but it was just so scratchy and didn’t fit me properly, it had to go back! Thank you so much for watching !
Girl, I discovered the Pixie Market top mid last year b/f I even knew it was a Khaite dupe. I have it in both black and white and I was super impressed with the quality (it's my most worn item in Fall/Winter), as I am most items from Pixie Market. It's wild that the Pixie market one is designed better. And I'm also completely outdone with the material being scratchy as well. On a $1,000 shirt......girl! This video was perfect. Thank you and subscribed!
Hey Staci! Thank you so much for subscribing! Yes I agree about the scratchy $1,000 shirt even though I got it on sale. Now don’t get me wrong if it fit properly I would’ve bought it in a few more colors Lol I have it in white and black now, now I NEED Pixie Market to make it in tan!!!
Mya, both sweaters are beautiful, however I love the Pixie Mart sweater neck line, bell sleeves and the cut at the bottom. Your reasons for returning the Khaite maddy top are valid. There is no way you should see your armpit. The sleeves are too long and definitely the feel of scratchiness and thinness for a $1000 item is just too much. Your frame is perfect for both, however I am glad you chose the dupe. TFS!
Hey MJ! lol I am not a fan of armpit cleavage, I'm just disappointed I wanted to love the top so much but at that price point it needs to be a joy to wear and it just simply isn't ( not for me). I understand it is designer and it was on sale, but that doesn't mean I am going to keep it and then just have it sitting in my closet just to say I have a piece from this designer in my closet
I really want to buy the chiara knit top but am so confused with sizing. If you don't mind, may I ask what size you brought and roughly your height and the size you usually take?
Great video thank you for the information. I have a critique though about the production of the video, the filter you used make it looks movie like and kind of give me a strange vibes like you are talking to me from the past. Take it as you will. Good luck with your channel!
Thanks a lot for reviewing both! Sadly a lot of luxury pret-a-porter clothing don't fit properly..i know exactly what you mean! several times even if i wanted to buy something i had to give up, because it couldn't even be altered
Good morning Bimblaq! Thank you! I was so disappointed, I wanted to love it because I would’ve definitely bought a few other colors lol. For $1,000 I need it to be like butter ! Whenever I shop I budget in tailoring and sadly it wouldn’t have been able to be altered. Thank you so much for watching !
@@KlassicallyKept i feel same way about Zimmerman dresses, fabric on some of them is worse than Zara dresses😓 Have you seen similar design Self-Portrait & Staud tops? I'm debating whether to get one fo those or PixieMarket, price is similar
Dear Klassically Kept, thank you very much for this video. I would like to tell my story with the Maddy top from Khaite and the Chiara top from Pixie Market. Before Christmas I ordered the Maddy top in size M (normally I am 36 EUR/UK 8) , when it arrived I felt that as you mentioned the shoulders constantly fell off and could not hold on as they should, the top was a bit scratchy, the material was very thick, the color was off white, a bit more creamy. I watched your video and decided to return it because of the shoulders situation. Regarding Chiara top from Pixie Market, I ordered the size S, the color was a bright white, the fit was quite good, but the sleeves were too short for me and the material was not as thick as the Maddy top, but I could not stand the fact that color was not creamy and the sleeves were a bit short, so I had to send it back. I was checking some other tops from Khaite, so I found the Luella top in creamy color on sale minus 60% in Wakakuku (Swedish web-site), I am super happy with this top, the shoulders are in place and I am happy with the color very much). I hope this review was helpful for someone like me, who can't decide between two brands.
Great review. So thorough. You have such a wonderful figure. You should do a workout video or what i eat in a day video. You maintain yourself very well.
Hello 2411Mal! Thank you. Currently I am not working out. I have always been naturally thin, but I eat fruits and veggies and salmon lol that’s really it. My weakness is chocolate. All I drink is tea and water.
It most certainly does! I just know for me it was not my vibe. One of my pet peeves when it comes to clothes is having to always rearrange and fix something. The top was beautiful, just not for me.
I wish you would have described the Material and not the 'feel of the material(thickness). Seems like the dupe fixed all the problems that the original khaite had👏🏽👏🏾🤣. Pixie market is 51% viscose, 30% nylon, 19% spandex. Khaite Material: Stretch matte viscose (61% viscose, 26% elastane, 13% polyester. There is a dupe in HM of course not the same quality, 30€ If you have wide shoulders and you don't like showing them don't try this top style.
Hello Adama. Thank you for pointing that out, I’ll remember that for next time. I don’t have a problem with shoulders in the top, I don’t like the armpit cleavage lol.

Hey which size would you recommend for the pixie market chiara top? I’m normally a size 38,178cm height and wondered if I should go for M or lower
I would say go or your normal size the top has a tendency to snatch you

What size did you get for the pixie market top? I’m not busty up there and not sure if it’ll stay in place
Good morning!
I got an x small in both the white and black.
Pixie Market fits much much better!
